Chaos is being reported in areas across the United States by the news media. In just the past few weeks governmental corruption, terrorism, and attacks on police have filled the headlines. Perspective is everything. Is this the beginning of a long, dark time in our country’s history or a bump in the road?

With the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal coming to a close with no charges it is becoming more obvious that Washington protects Washington. The vast majority of these politicians do care about Americans. The precept for which the government serves us is long, long gone.

Below David(aka SouthernPrepper1) voices his opinion and concern related to the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton and the current state of the country.

    Please remember, the Clinton email scandal is not the big kahuna, it is the Clinton
    Foundation pay for play involving arms deals, uranium deals and everything else, requiring sign off by State Department in exchange for money to the Clintons. This was the real reason for secret communication network as it is not subject to FOIA requests and there are no records. Reason for no Inspector General in the State Department during her tenure. This scandal must not be allowed to fall off the radar, in all likelihood, will bring down our government as many players are involved. If there is no rule of law then our country is finished, its almost there now. Look at what the head of DHS said
    concerning the Dallas shootings, “its still relatively early to call it a hate crime” ??????
    Another example of things going off the rails by design.

    This is a little long but worth the time to read it because it is so true. It is from an Old School Army Lt Col Fred Dibella. It was on LinkedIn.

    HERE IS A GOOD RANT FROM AN OLD WARFIGHTER.

    For two years as a senior combat trainer (observer/controller) at the National Training Center and another two as the G3 of the 1st Armored Division in Germany, I was fortunate enough to be responsible for their training as around 50 Armor and Infantry branch Lieutenant Colonels lead their battalions through the most rigorous, realistic large unit training the US Army has ever offered. I conducted the formal after action review for every battle and so was very familiar with what took place and why. If the “battles” we fought had taken place with real ammo instead of lasers, artillery simulators, and subjective mine field and air attack assessments, every single one of those battalion commanders would have lost (dead, wounded, captured or destroyed) the equivalent of at least three complete battalions worth of men and equipment over the space of just two weeks. Every single one that is except Fred Dibella.

    At the National Training Center, Fred’s battalion soundly defeated the best “Soviet Armored Regiment” that ever strapped on tanker boots in 5 consecutive battles! And it was not even close! Lt Col Dibella understood tactical warfare and how to prepare his leaders and their men before they ever arrived on the battlefield. They came to the NTC with a mutual understanding of how every single piece of the task force affected every other piece and they understood that every leader’s battle plan must support the plan of the entire task force. The manner in which Lt Col Dibella had prepared and trained his leaders and soldiers before the first shot was ever fired was the best I have ever seen. The manner in which they actually fought the NTC battles was unequaled!

    My entire experience with Lt Col Fred Dibella was over the course of those two weeks. But I can tell you that he knew more about how to fight and how to train his people to fight than any other battalion commander I had the opportunity to help train. So pay attention to what he writes in the article that follows.

    Mac Johnson

    In a 2015 memo by the Secretary of the Army to worldwide Army Commands, the Secretary dictated that ‘Commanders and soldiers will balance lactation support and readiness.’

    In response, COL (Ret) Fred Dibella, USMA Class of ’69 and former TAC of Company F2 at West Point wrote:

    “Ok, I’ve had all I can stomach. I’m done.

    Scroll down and read this shit right now, if you think I’m kidding, then come back to my remarks, if you haven’t puked your guts out. (USMA ‘69 forum, feel free to permanently ban me from your rolls, but I’ve had enough.)

    Obama and his lackeys have now systematically laid the groundwork to accomplish what no battlefield enemy has ever done; that is, to emasculate the United States Military. I honestly don’t know how he could have done it more effectively. He’s dangerously downsized the force; he’s rooted out warriors like Stan McChrystal and Carter Ham from the General and Flag Officer ranks and installed puppets like George Casey and Martin Dempsey; he not only obliterated ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell’; he searched long and hard to find an openly gay (and utterly unqualified) man to be Sec Army; he opened not just combat arms to women, but the absolute tips of the spear in Infantry, Armor and Artillery, and the predictable result is directives like “balance lactation support and readiness?”

    Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? Balance lactation support and readiness!?

    Sorry, I’m old school, but I THOUGHT READINESS WAS NEVER, EVER COMPROMISED… let alone for “lactation support”.

    Have we gone completely mad?!? Do you think for a moment that the greatest fighting force the planet has ever known is immune to emasculation? That there’s nothing that Obama can do to significantly degrade its lethality? That somehow we will magically prevail, despite all this shit?

    Here’s the blunt truth, and if you think this flies in the face of political correctness and/or liberal theology… congratulations.

    The most important reason the US Military has been so dominant, so lethal, and so unbeatable over that last 200 years is that we subscribe to a Warrior Ethos. We’re not quite Sparta, but we ain’t been far behind. That is, until now. Up to now, we have recognized the blatantly obvious: That battles and wars are won by Alpha Males. And why is that? Uh… because men and women may well be equal in the eyes of God, but they damned sure ain’t identical in the laws of physics and psychology. Men are, by and large, bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive, more violent, more ferocious, more intense, more powerful, more brutal, more belligerent, more destructive, AND THEREFORE MORE LETHALthan women.

    You don’t buy that? Tell you what – pick 50 men at random from anywhere and 50 women. Put ‘em in a big ring and tell ‘em to fight to the death. Have a problem immediately predicting the outcome? If you do, I can’t help you. You’re an idiot or a flaming liberal who believes that “Laura Croft, Tomb Raider” is real.

    Why do you think Martin Dempsey, Obama’s personal lackey in uniform, issued his famous proclamation? You know the one: “If women can’t pass the standards at Ranger school, SEAL school, and other similar training programs, then the standards will have to be justified to me”.

    God help me, but am I the only one who sees through that shit? I guess the Rangers at Point du Hoc weren’t good enough, huh Martin? Neither were the SEALS at Benghazi? I guess Delta’s incredible successes are not sufficient. ‘We must reassess the standards’. Total crock of shit. Scrape away the BS, and here’s the residue: We’re gonna lower the bar ‘till the women can get over it, period. Think that’ll have any effect on lethality? BTW, how’d you like to be the Ranger School Commandant who goes to Massa Dempsey’s office to ‘splain why women aint’ makin’ it? Think he might avoid that by “adjusting” things a bit?

    But it’s more than physicality. It’s about the laws of nature. That is, when young men and women are put together they respond to hormones rather than ‘good order and discipline’. 1976: Women are introduced to West Point. Regulations strictly prohibited fraternization among cadets. Hahahahahahaha. Written by some idiot, no doubt. They were bangin’ each other like rabbits. Trust me, I had a ringside seat. But that wouldn’t happen in a Ranger squad, or a SEAL team, right? If you said, “Right”, then you’re an idiot. The squad/team leader is messin’ around with a female and there’s no degradation to good order and discipline, right? The previous “Brotherhood” that formerly bonded warriors together won’t be affected, right?

    So we now have a female Commandant of Cadets at West Point. See how freaking enlightened we are? We can appoint females to the leadership roles at the nations’ premier School for Warriors. That is, the nations’ FORMER premier School for Warriors. West Point is now the tip of the Political Correctness spear. We have gay marriages at the cadet chapel, we have kindness and compassion seminars, we even have Sensitivity Officers, for crissake, on cadet staffs – right next to the Operations and Logistics Officers – to ensure that Alpha Males do not behave like Alpha Males. We dumb ‘em down now. We used to understand that good warriors were a little rough around the edges. We tolerated that, because we knew ‘em for what they were… Patton comes immediately to mind. Instead, now we intentionally extract the fangs from the sheepdogs, just about the time when the wolves from Islam are stalking the flock…

    Obama gave us Obamacare, which is now sinking under its own sick formula. Good thing, because the gutless Republicans couldn’t bring themselves to defund it. Obama has given us Sotomayor and Kagan, two flaming Liberals who will sit on that bench for a generation of Looney Tunes. Obama has demonstrated his racism, his socialism, his disdain for law enforcement and even his proclivity for Islam (the “peaceful” religion… what a laugh). He’s been the single most divisive and destructive POTUS in my lifetime. America, thanks to him, is at war with itself. GOP vs ‘Crats, Blacks vs Whites, Haves vs Have-nots, Women vs Men, Armed vs Unarmed, you name the category… we have two sides at war with each other.

    The debt is approaching $20 Trillion. That’s such a ridiculous number that even economists can’t fathom it. More than half of it generated on Obama’s personal watch. We have no national border. None. Agents have been defanged, and the illegal aliens come across at will. The problems in Arizona and Texas are ignored by Obama. Israel has gone from being our most trusted and respected ally in the Mideast to being openly discredited, condemned and insulted by him. The nuclear deal with Iran was and is a joke. Un-vetted Syrian male “refugees”… well hell, come to America! It’s all so transparent. You elect an utterly unqualified candidate with dangerous background affiliations in his past, and this is what you get: a self-inflicted wound.

    But it all pales, in my humble world, to his destruction of the American Military. These are the guardians of our way of life. These are the warriors. These are the “rough MEN who allow us to sleep soundly, because they stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”. But go ahead, America: let this ideologue continue the systematic defanging of our fighting force. Let him feminize it. Let him drag it into the political correctness cesspool. Let him continue the social engineering and tinkering. Keep putting high heel shoes on male cadets, so they can “empathize”. Forget all our hard-fought lessons at Khe Sanh, the Chosin Resevoir, Bastogne, Belleau Wood, Gettysburg, and Bunker Hill. Let the idiots tell you that war is “push button” now, so anyone can be a warrior.

    Go ahead…

    Historians won’t have a difficult time analyzing this disintegration. We were just too timid to put a stop to the madness… ” Dibella

    Dibella sounds like one hell of a good commander and I would have followed him anywhere. You are correct in your assertions of our ruler, if we have to go to war under his standards we are bound to lose. I remember hearing of new LT’s in WW11 no surviving due to arrogance and ineptness though the Sgt’s usually did along with a majority of the troops they led and it seems it also happened in Vietnam. I was always my first job in combat was to complete the mission, my answere was my first job was to protect my troops so they could do the job, no Dog and Pony shows.

    All of what I have read and seen for myself leads me to conclude something fairly succinct. Everything is due to a total lack of effective leadership at the very least, if not an active role in dissembling the American Congressional and Judicial systems. There is more than one way to disarm America. Softening the American military is certainly one way, while militarizing Local and other fringe government agencies as well is increasing DHS span of control. Replace warrior military leaders that could make up for much and replace them with bureaucratic sycophants (nearly complete). I am sure NATO awaits like a wolf for that to happen, as some of our leadership may be as well.
    We’ve done all we can to collapse the American economy as slowly as we can.. it awaits only the pebble to start the avalanche..
    Pit brother against brother and sister against sister to prevent any possibility of unity of purpose (nearly done).

    Now why it may not work as they expect. No large ship turns or stops on a dime. That goes fro oppression as well. They have gone to far and cannot slow, or stop.. indeed they accelerate apace. The issue here is that even the most wicked of enemies will lay down their arms against each other for a common goal if the consequences or not doing so are dire enough. It was that way in the revolution, the civil war, WWII etc.. That too only waits a pebble.

    We balance on knifes edge seeking which pebble will be the first to roll. Both will be hard and have hard consequences. It’s why we are all hear and man many more like us over many places just like this one.

    May those that love us, love us.
    And those that don’t love us,
    May God turn their hearts.
    And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
    May He turn their ankles
    So we will know them by their limping.

    I’ve seen them limping ..
    have you ?

    What is going with your website right wing rants against our elected gov’t has nothing to do with prepping or being prepared for what we all hope doesn’t happen but since the liberal part of me needs to speak where was all concern over 9/11 there has been more hearings and investigations on seriously HILLARY’S emails give me a break we were lied into a war that has caused the US nothing deaths.

      Cole you are certainly welcome to your opinion.. and everyone deserves some latitude.. as long they are not too OTT. IMO What do we prepare for ? Some thing the inevitable, some the possible some the impossible .. as a matter of perspective.
      Prepping could be for tornadoes, earthquakes.. but seriously the SHTF or TEOTWAWKI is something that is never to far way from our thoughts.. and there need be no pretense .. only supportable opinions right ?
      All that said .. How does one know when to bug out, or turn electronic money in to something else etc.. by predicting the likelihood of possible outcomes. That has very much to do with political pressures both nationally and locally. We just had BLM block out interstate for 5 hours .. It was good to know in advance.. Had I lived in Ferguson, or Oakland on Orlando I would very much have bugged in and stayed off the streets .. and that could easily require many of my preps.. We talk about precious metals .. not prep? Sure it is.. It is a leading indicator of fiscal soundness. Do some users rant from time to time .. absolutely .. hence the latitude.. kind of like your comment just now.. It’s pretty hard to relax for anyone right now.. unless you are medicated or have your head in the sand .. which I don’t believe any of us here do.
      I’m good with an occasional vent .. and Rourke’s sites have been very good about moderating any personal attacks or commentary in my experience. I visit several sites, though this is my go to site and favorite.. Some prep sites amount to little more than camping and on the other end armed militants.. Neither extreme interests me but to each his own. I’ll continue to be me of course ,, as I have worked hard to be me.. whether anyone else approves or not. You as well I am sure

      Cole – as others have said you are entitled to your opinion. Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am UNAPOLOGETICALLY AMERICAN. I am not unapologetically “right wing”. 1776PatriotUSA.com is more than a preparedness website. This is a site for TRUE, freedom loving Americans and Patriots. Rant’s against elected government officials? I’ll tell you Jefferson and Washington among others would be proud unlike those on the Left that often promote silencing people’s opinion unless they are in line with their Progressive agenda. I believe in the freedom of speech even if it disagrees with my beliefs.

      I would argue politics plays a major role in preparedness for many folks. After all – it is our fearless leaders(yes – elected by us) that have lead us to this point in history where we are close to 20 trillion in debt, have a feckless President with the spine of a jellyfish, a country becoming more divided with each passing day, and a woman who is the epitome of evil getting ready to take the White House.

      Again – I respect your opinion and welcome you to voice it here anytime.

      We will agree to disagree Cole. I believe government and the decisions they make has EVERYTHING to do with preparedness. For those of us who are concerned with economic collapse focus much blame on Liberal policies of government overspending and irresponsible policy decisions. Notice I didn’t say Democrat. There is LOT’s of blame to go around.

    Cole, what we are posting now has everything to do with Prepping because it gives us reason to Prep and be prepared for what looks like is coming, soon, probably. Besides this particular rant, there is a lot of good information available on this site. I don’t agree with or read everything on the site but I certainly do glean a lot of good insight to prepping. Keep up the great work JR!

    shooooo…let me wipe the laughing tears from my eyes after reading “Cole” comment. So look, the only way you can understand thousands of ignorant liberals like him.. is to watch this video. You will completely understand. Watch at least to the 2:50 mark if not all. Give it that much time.

    Cole,

    Of course you are entitled to your opinion, which was not very well written out. I would like to add that perhaps in the future that you attempt to proofread your comments prior to hitting the submit button. Punctuation also would be greatly appreciated, as it helps others understand what idea it is that you are actually attempting to convey, otherwise it comes out in a manner that leaves your audience scratching their heads. You obviously have a voice and a message, just be clear what it is and articulate it.
